Sit back toward the chair, stand tall.
Your back called.
It wants a word.
mybackhurts lives in your menu bar or system tray, nudges you every 45 minutes and walks you through a few quick moves. The camera stays off unless you ask it to count your reps.
See it in 24 seconds.

Walked away? Counts.
5 minutes away from the keyboard counts as a break.
Moves you can do next to your desk.
Office clothes and headphones welcome.
Rise onto your toes, then lower slowly.
Heels up, heels down, without leaving your chair.
Knees up high, arms swinging, one side then the other.
Sit tall and lift one knee, then the other.
Arms out, small circles, a little bigger each time.
Arms up like a goalpost, squeeze your shoulder blades, hold 20 seconds.
Shoulders up to your ears, then let them drop.
Ear to shoulder, 15 seconds each side.
Arm out, fingers up, ease them back with the other hand. 15 seconds a side.
Look at something far away for 20 seconds. Blinking is allowed.
Count your own reps, or let the camera count.
Simple · the default
You count. It keeps time.
A timer and a +1 rep button (or Space). The camera never turns on.
Webcam · opt in
It counts. You just move.
An on-device pose model tracks your joints to count reps and holds, with form hints.

Things people
usually ask.
Will it bother me at 11pm on a Sunday?
Only if you say you work then. You pick the hours, days and interval.
How good is the rep counting?
Decent, not magic. Light and camera position matter, and calf raises often fall back to a timer. If the camera loses you, one click lets you count it yourself.
I'm in an open office. Will I look weird?
A little. Set posture to Seated and every break works from your chair.
How does it know I'm on a call?
It checks whether another app is using your camera or microphone, or is full screen. It never opens either one itself, so it never asks for permission.
Stand up.
Seriously, now.
